Top 23 Gluten-Free Late-Night Spots to Enjoy in Santa Cruz

Lore Blackburn

This place has good gluten free pizza. A little slow, but it was 5PM and there was a large crowd. The service was great as well!

Great gluten free options!

Didn't like being stuffed back into the corner. Dark back there. BUT they have a gluten free menu. Food very tasty. Gluten free menu. Server nice. Would go back!

Late night pizza experience accomplished! Accommodating the Vegan gluten free request to max a whole pizza myself for a road trip was perfect. Thanks Pizza My Heart!

Crystal Daily

Great find. Lots of gluten-free options; pizza and pasta. Even my kids cleared their plates.

Despite the small size of the location, this place is impressive! The background music is mellow, the seating arrangement is inviting, and the menu offers a unique selection of vegan, gluten-free, and original sushi. I tried the Yellowtail with green onion, The Twin Salmon Roll, and the Missing Piece, and everything was fresh, perfectly prepared, and delicious! I can't wait to come back, most likely with some friends. The chef and server were also very helpful and I appreciate their assistance.

Very fast, friendly service and generous positions at this popular spot. Pretty good with dietary restrictions: most of the menu is gluten free (or can be adjusted to be GF), although celiacs should know that the fryer does have cross contamination so avoid the tempura, etc (personally I’d label that as “low gluten” but the staff seems knowledgeable so just be sure to communicate what kind of restrictions you have). The food was a bit more mixed: really nice appetizers (salads, Akira fries, etc) and the fish is pretty fresh (the hamachi was especially tasty), but despite the rolls being very large (seriously we probably could have had 1 per person) they seemed surprisingly lacking in flavor, almost bland. Also I liked my sashimi but it came with rice that was downright bad: stuck together and overcooked. I’m half Japanese so maybe I’m picky, but people forget that “sushi” refers to rice, not fish, so it’s disappointing when a sushi place gets rice wrong. Overall a good experience, albeit with some caveats.

This is one of the cutest outdoor bistro restaurants I’ve ever ever been to, and I always try to visit and try their cuisine anytime. I am in the Santa Cruz area. It is always a delight and the service and staff there are always friendly and make you feel at home. Today was certainly no exception. Thank you again chocolate for having the best gluten-free bread I’ve ever had!

Anthony Lambruschi

Great beer selection, they even had a gluten free beer tucked away in the back for my celiac partner to try! Hummus tray and the roasted potatoes were both great as well!

Ron Clonts

If you are driving highway 1 and want a great taste of local California wine, beers, or seafood, this is a great option. The delicious gastropub quality food is worth the price because the flavors are amazing. There are many vegan and gluten free options on the menu. There is also a comfortable and warm dining area with outdoor seating as well.

Absolutely love this place, food and ambiance is incredible ever since the renovation last summer!! The orange salmon and saffron pasta are my regular favorites, but whatever you get, don’t miss out on the pork belly bao buns or tuna wontons (order split in half to accommodate a gluten free guest)! The chef is very understanding and accommodates any dietary restrictions. Sit at the bar with the bartender Rainbow- he is the BEST! Special Valentine’s Day lobster and pomegranate risotto was to die for!

Gluten free options marked on menu marked by 'G' on the menu. Server was great.... Had the seafood risotto and it was fabulous. Will go back!!

Allison Schimke

Menu marked with gluten free options.

One of the best weekend brunches in SC County! Highly recommend the Benedicts. Their gluten free options are excellent. No matter what you order, if you have toast, ask for the strawberry butter. It's divine.

Carrie Aiken

Totally local vibe for people of all kinds. Excellent gluten-free option

Anna Demongeot

Very good salmon fish and chips. The salads are good, but small for the price and a bit heavy on the dressing. It would be good if they used corn or potato starch rather than flour on the fries for those who are trying to avoid gluten (karma for stealing my husband's fries)

Really yummy brunch spot! Gluten free and vegetarian options! Had the eggs florentine with gluten free muffin and it was very good. The home fries were amazing! Bf had the tofu scramble and it was also very good! Sat it the cute garden and was very relaxing. Too full to try the crepes! Next time! Service was excellent!

We came here and one of us had a gluten intolerance. The personnel was very helpful and tried to find gluten free options, and we found finally a good solution. Thanks for the help and the good service! Also the other food was good we eat there.

Pablo Quiroz

Hot chocolate and gluten free breads were amazing

Megan Dauphin

One of my favorite restaurants in Santa Cruz! I can get vegan gluten free curry noodle soup here that tastes amazing. My whole family loves the food here. Plus they are super quick and bring the food right out. I highly recommend Betty Noodles!

Alex Lorden

Great tacos right by the beach, super convenient. Gluten free, celiac, and vegan options!

Kenneth Taylor

Gluten free options are NOT actually gluten free. Not good for those with Celiac disease or high sensitivity.

Chrissy MacLean

Outdoor with a heater and a delicious vegan gluten free pizza!!! For me, that is a perfect night. (Rad service too)
